Cool small cooler IN

I opted for the locally available (Hadyn) small plate cooler between the AC condensor/radiator, about $50. I'm hard up financially now or I would have installed (driver side/in front of wheel) the B&M HiTek. It makes the best sense, because of the thermostatic control - only comes on when you need it + has its own air source! BUT, doesn't get too cold here + (like I said) $50 is alot less than $190. Thanks for your inputs!

P.S. I installed after loosening top of radiator (only). Cut included hose - one about 4 inches shorter than the other piece. Attached these to cooler. Tipped radiator toward engine. Slid cooler in between with hoses facing up and bending toward driver side. Positioned hoses down side of radiator to area just in front of campaign filter (later attached one to exit [center]nipple of AT oil filter, one attached [using aluminum tubing] to the hose removed from center filter nipple). I placed nylon "straps" thru AC condensor, thru oil cooler and allowed point of nylon to protrude about 1/8 inch out other side of AT oil cooler. I used a long needle nose plier to hold the foam pads just in position over the projecting nylon point. After all four were in position, I tipped the radiator forward against the pads. Pushed all the way thru radiator, pushed on retainers and clipped excess. Seemed to work easily and well. Hope this helps somebody!
